And the VictoriaMetrics team takes care of optimal configuration and software +maintenance. + +Managed VictoriaMetrics comes with the following features: + +* It can be used as a Managed Prometheus - just configure Prometheus or vmagent to write data to Managed VictoriaMetrics and then use the provided endpoint as a Prometheus datasource in Grafana; +* Every Managed VictoriaMetrics instance runs in an isolated environment, so instances cannot interfere with each other; +* Managed VictoriaMetrics instance can be scaled up or scaled down in a few clicks; +* Automated backups; +* Pay only for the actually used compute resources - instance type, disk and network. + +See more about Managed VictoriaMetrics in the following articles: +* [Managed VictoriaMetrics announcement](https://victoriametrics.com/blog/managed-victoriametrics-announcement) +* [Pricing comparison for Managed Prometheus](https://victoriametrics.com/blog/managed-prometheus-pricing/) +* [Monitoring Proxmox VE via Managed VictoriaMetrics and vmagent](https://victoriametrics.com/blog/proxmox-monitoring-with-dbaas/) + diff --git a/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instance-create.png b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instance-create.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3afb68288 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instance-create.png differ diff --git a/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instance-provisioning.png b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instance-provisioning.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f05c96105 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instance-provisioning.png differ diff --git a/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instances.png b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instances.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3af5ab20e Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-instances.png differ diff --git a/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-token-usage.png b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-token-usage.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3ba2e5543 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-token-usage.png differ diff --git a/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-tokens.png b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-tokens.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..862926315 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart-tokens.png differ diff --git a/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart.md b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..84326b377 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/managed_victoriametrics/quickstart.md @@ -0,0 +1,65 @@ +# Quick Start + +Managed VictoriaMetrics - is a database-as-a-service platform, where users can run the VictoriaMetrics +that they know and love on AWS without the need to perform typical DevOps tasks such as proper configuration, +monitoring, logs collection, access protection, software updates, backups, etc. + +## How to register + +Managed VictoriaMetrics id distributed via [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-4tbfq5icmbmyc). +To start using the service, one should have already registered AWS account +and visit [VictoriaMetrics product page](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-4tbfq5icmbmyc). +See more details [here](https://dbaas.victoriametrics.com/howToRegister). + +## Creating instance + +Instances is a page where user can list and manage VictoriaMetrics single-node instances. +To create an instance click on the button `Create`: + +

+ +

+ +In the opened form, choose parameters of the new instance such as: + +* `Instance type` from preset of AWS instances (you always can change the type later); +* `Region` and `Zone` where instance should run; +* Desired `disk size` for storing metrics (you always can expand disk size later); +* `Retention` period for stored metrics. + +

+ +

+ +Once created, instance will remain for a short period of time in `PROVISIONING` status +while the hardware spins-up, just wait for a couple of minutes and reload the page. +You'll also be notified via email once provisioning is finished: + +

+ +## Access + +After transition from `PROVISIONING` to `RUNNING` state, VictoriaMetrics is fully operational +and ready to accept write or read requests. But first, click on instance name to get the access token: + +

+ +

+ +Access tokens are used in token-based authentication to allow an application to access the VictoriaMetrics API. +Supported token types are `Read-Only`, `Write-Only` and `Read-Write`. Click on token created by default +to see usage examples: + +

+ +

+ +Follow usage example in order to configure access to VictoriaMetrics for your Prometheus, +Grafana or any other software. + +## Modifying + +Remember, you always can add, remove or modify existing instances by changing their type or increasing the disk space. +However, such an update requires an instance restart and may result into a couple of minutes of downtime. \ No newline at end of file
